Season Preview
E
ntering her fifth season with the Knights,
Stephanie Nickitas is looking forward to
another great year. The team finished
with an impressive 12-8 record for the 2010-11
season.
The 2011-12 season could shape up to be Nickitas’ best so far at UCF.
Last year, the Knights earned the No. 5 seed in
the Conference USA Championship, which tied
for their highest seed since joining the league in
2005-06. The team played against eight ranked
teams in 2011, including matches vs. No. 2 Florida, No. 4 Michigan and No. 42 Alabama. The
eight ranked matches is the most under Nickitas.

an 8-11 mark in dual-match play. Her season
was highlighted by a doubles win over No. 47
USF with partner Courtney Griffith.
With the Knights completing the fall season in
2011 Nickitas had a few key takeaways regarding the beinning of 2012. “We played against
some very tough competition,” she said. “It
made us stronger as a team. Each of the ladies
knows what she needs to work on to take her
game to the next level.”
The UCF head coach also expressed her desire
to win the C-USA Championship in 2012. “We
have a team with experience now,” Nickitas
said. “They have a lot of matches under their
belt and need to pull from their past and ex-

pect more from themselves this year. We have
worked hard as a group and have put ourselves
in a position to be successful this year. Everyone
is excited to get started.”
While UCF has been making strides on the
court, major announcements were made over
the summer recognizing the people behind the
recent successes. On Sept. 7, Nickitas was announced as a member of the 2012 University of
Florida Athletic Hall of Fame Class. Playing from
1996-99, Nickitas posted an overall singles record of 128-22 at UF. Her 85.3 winning percentage is fifth in Florida history. Since joining UCF
four years ago, she has led the Knights to an
overall record of 49-34.

UCF has done its part on
continuing to build upon last
season’s success, bringing in
talented transfer Cassie Hochwalt from Austin Peay. Hochwalt has played in various
USTA events since the age of
14, earning the No. 5 ranking in Arizona coming out of
high school.
On top of the new transfer,
the team has eight returning
players from the 2011 campaign. Headlining the returning players include sophomore Josephine Haraldson
and junior Genevieve Lorbergs. Haraldson finished
with an overall record of 1910, including an impressive
4-0 mark in conference play,
while Lorbergs ended with

Stephanie Nickitas
Head Coach - Fifth Season with UCF
Setting off on her
fifth season with the
Knights in 2011-12,
Stephanie Nickitas
continues to build
a program through
recruiting, and challenging her team by competing against quality opponents.
Coaching the Knights
Quickly working up towards the top of Conference
USA, UCF put together a 2010-11 campaign in which
it earned a No. 5 seed for the C-USA Championship.
That tied for the Knights’ highest seed since joining
the league in 2005-06, proving that the program
maintains an upward path through the college tennis ranks.
In 2010-11, the Black and Gold went 12-8 with a 3-1
mark in C-USA, and secured victories over UAB, Miami (Ohio), Marquette, East Carolina, Memphis and
FAU. Meanwhile Nickitas helped freshman Josephine
Haraldson towards 19 singles wins in just her first
year in the college game.
After the 2011 dual-match season, UCF earned ITA
All-Academic status for having a team GPA higher
than 3.20. And Jenna Doerfler claimed the ITA Summer Circuit singles crown at Florida State, and Courtney Griffith won the ITA Summer Circuit backdraw at
Georgia.
In 2008-09, the Knights faced seven ranked foes and
welcomed three top-15 teams to the UCF Tennis
Complex. The following year in 2009-10, the Black
and Gold battled highly-ranked programs such as Alabama, Illinois, Florida, Florida State and SMU in the
fall and the spring. It also faced several other schools
from across the country like New Mexico, Michigan
State and Harvard.
During that 2009-10 campaign, UCF finished with an
impressive 13-7 record.
Highlighted by victories over Michigan State, Memphis and New Mexico, the Knights shot off to a 9-2
start, which was their best opening to a season since
1998-99.
Junior Jenny Frisell was consistently ranked among
the top singles players in the country, including a No.
83 ranking by the ITA. Sophomore Taylor Dubins won
a singles tournament in the fall at UNF, while freshman Allison Hodges claimed the doubles title at the
Southern Adult Indoor Tennis Open in December,
which gave her a wild card spot into the qualifying
round of the WTA professional tournament in Memphis.
Coaching in her second year at UCF, Nickitas led the
Knights to a 12-10 mark facing a difficult schedule in
2008-09. The doubles pair of Frisell and Elvira Serrot
was slotted together by Nickitas on Feb. 13 against
Georgia Southern and quickly rose in the national
ranks all the way to No. 27 after defeating the No.
11 and No. 33 ranked teams from Duke and NC State,
respectively.
Under the guidance of Nickitas, Katie Orletsky, a
transfer from Arizona, anchored the No. 6 slot for
the Knights posting a 12-5 record and capturing the
Conference USA Newcomer of the Year award. The
honor was the first specialty award handed to a UCF
women’s tennis player since joining C-USA in 2005.

In her first year at the helm of the Knights, Nickitas
guided the squad to a 12-9 record and a 57.8 singles
winning percentage in 2007-08. But more impressively, UCF dominated on the doubles courts by going
60-30 for a 66.7 clip.
Focusing on the classroom, a whopping seven student-athletes on the 2009-10 roster were selected to
the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll. That included
Dubins earned the C-USA Commissioner’s Academic
Medal for having a GPA of at least 3.75.
Four Knights in 2008-09 received spots on the C-USA
Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll as well. Among
those Knights were Frisell and Elvira Serrot, who were
voted onto the All-C-USA Second Team as a doubles
tandem. Frisell as a sophomore was additionally recognized by the coaches as a singles player on the AllC-USA Second Team.
Combined with Nickitas’ first season, the Knights
have had 18 selections to the prestigious honor roll.
Three singles players and a doubles team were chosen for the conference second and third teams under
the watch of Nickitas.
National Exposure
And the leader of the Knights also has received plenty
of other praise as well. Nickitas was elected to a twoyear appointment from 2011-13 on the USTA Collegiate Varsity Committee, which promotes the growth
of American Collegiate Varsity Tennis and its role as
an important pathway for tennis development.
Nickitas is in her second term from 2011-13 as a regional representative on the ITA Women’s Division I
Operating Committee as well. She is also a member of
the Division I Southeast Regional Committee.

Since she first arrived in Orlando in the summer of
2007, Nickitas’ recruiting classes have been worthy of
attention as well. Her incoming class for 2009-10 was
ranked as the fourth-best mid-major class in the nation by TennisRecruiting.net. That was the highest of
any C-USA program. A year earlier, her first UCF class
climbed all the way to sixth in the rankings. And for
2010-11, five-star player Courtney Griffith is already
on tap to join the Knights.

On Sept. 7, 2011, Nickitas was selected to join the UF
Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2012.

Playing Days
Nickitas was a standout player at Florida from 199699, earning All-America recognition six times for the
Gators. She went on to be selected for The 1999
NCAA Top VIII Award, which honors the most-deserving eight student-athletes from across the country in
all sports for their athletic, academic and leadership
achievements.

With Nickitas on the staff, Duke advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championships in 2007. The
Blue Devils finished the season ranked ninth nationally and went 20-8 overall and 9-1 against Atlantic
Coast Conference opponents.

A member of the Gators’ 1996 and 1998 NCAA national championship squads, Nickitas won 128 singles
matches during her career and earned All-Southeastern Conference First Team honors all four years. She
won four collegiate Grand Slam titles as well, while
that 1996 squad was ranked seventh of the Top 25
Gator Teams released in 2009.
Nickitas also was the 1996 and 1997 NCAA Doubles
champion with Dawn Buth, becoming the first duo
in Division I history to claim back-to-back titles. She
currently ranks first in single-season doubles winning
percentage (41-1, 97.6 percent), and second all-time
at UF with a career mark of 89.5 percent (128-15).
Nickitas picked up GTE Academic All-America honors
in 1998 and was awarded with the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship following her senior campaign.
